Our middle school students learned from professionals in the field.Ā They learned how to get started in the field, and the Certifications or licensing they need.Ā We also learned about the investments in skill-specific tools.Ā
Students learned mathematical concepts utilized in each trade, as well as many other skills.Ā They also practiced their understanding of measurement and fractions.
